The Rev Scott Burton was inducted into St. Matthews in January 2007 after a seven year ministry in Kelty, West Fife. Some pretty original and radical worship took place through Scott's leadership of Free Spirit - an alternative service that took place in the ex-servicemen's club.

Originally from Glasgow, he studied at the universities of St. Andrews and Aberdeen and has ministered as a student in cities and towns and villages, as well as on islands as far flung and remote as Foula in Shetland.

Scott has enjoyed the dynamic learning experiences of two international pulpit exchanges in recent years: firstly in Marion Presbyterian Church, South Carolina (2005) and Encino Presbyterian Church, Los Angeles, California (2007). Currently Scott is in talks to exchange with Rev Holton Seigling of Fernandina Beach Presbyterian Church in Florida come the summer of 2009.

Scott also plays trumpet, guitar and Flugel Horn, ran the Edinburgh Marathon in 2004 and enjoys cycling, kayaking, walking his English Pointer and Weimaraner Dogs and spending as much time as possible reading such books as The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. He has been married to Jill since 1993 and has two daughters.
